Michaela

Why?

My name is Michaela. I am eighteen and have been cutting for four years now.
I have read the personal stories in here and I quite agree, cutting isn’t a
bad thing, it is a way we can release our emotions and be happy if only for
a few minutes.

I hate my life and everything about it. I don’t trust anyone and I’ve
already tried to kill myself once. What’s to stop me doing it again? What
kind of a life is this? I want to be normal, yet I know I never will. I am
branded fucked up and psychotic which is fair but not the point. If only
people would understand that cutting isn’t a bad thing, it’s our way of life
and a way to live.
